NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
11
12
CHANGES:
13
14
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
15
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
16
17
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
18
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
19
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
20
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
21
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
22
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
23
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
24
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
25
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
26
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
27
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
28
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
29
(Robert Collins)
30
31
FEATURES:
32
33
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
34
35
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
36
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
37
38
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
39
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
40
(Aaron Bentley)
41
42
PERFORMANCE:
43
44
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
45
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
46
47
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
48
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
49
50
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
51
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
52
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
53
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
54
55
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
56
(Robert Collins)
57
58
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
59
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
60
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
61
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
62
63
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
64
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
65
66
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
67
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
68
69
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
70
the contents. (Robert Collins)
71
72
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
73
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
74
75
IMPROVEMENTS:
76
77
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
78
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
79
80
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
81
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
82
83
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
84
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
85
86
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
87
(Martin Pool, #63894)
88
89
DOCUMENTATION:
90
91
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
92
93
BUG FIXES:
94
95
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
96
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
97
98
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
99
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
100
101
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
102
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
103
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
104
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
105
106
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
107
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
108
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
109
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
110
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
111
112
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
113
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
114
paramiko.
115
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
116
117
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
118
119
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
120
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
121
122
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
123
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
124
125
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
126
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
127
128
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
129
contains a symbolic link.
130
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
131
132
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
133
(James Westby, #140615)
134
135
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
136
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
137
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
138
139
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
140
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
141
(Martin Pool, #144633)
142
143
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
144
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
145
146
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
147
will remain opened.
148
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
149
150
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
151
directory to detect leaking tests.
152
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
153
154
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
155
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
156
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
157
158
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
159
(Rob Weir, #141629)
160
161
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
162
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
163
164
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
165
Merwe)
166
167
API BREAKS:
168
169
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
170
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
171
172
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
173
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
174
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
175
176
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
177
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
178
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
179
180
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
181
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
182
183
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
184
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
185
186
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
187
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
188
(Martin Pool)
189
190
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
191
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
192
193
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
194
class that needs it.
195
(Martin Pool)
196
197
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
198
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
199
200
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
201
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
202
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
203
204
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
205
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
206
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
207
(Robert Collins)
208
209
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
210
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
211
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
212
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
213
(Robert Collins)
214
215
INTERNALS:
216
217
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
218
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
219
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
220
221
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
222
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
223
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
224
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
225
226
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
227
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
228
(Robert Collins)
229
230
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
231
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
232
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
233
234
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
235
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
236
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
237
238
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
239
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
240
241
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
242
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
243
to complete. (Robert Collins)
244
245
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
246
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
247
248
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
249
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
250
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
251
252
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
253
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
254
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
255
256
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
257
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
258
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
259
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
260
261
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
262
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
263
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
264
returned. (Robert Collins)
265
266
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
267
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
268
269
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
270
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
271
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
272
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
273
(Robert Collins)
274
275
TESTING:
276
277
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
278
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
279
280
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
281
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
282
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
283
makes this behavior available to other users.
284
(Martin Pool)
285
286
287
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
288
===================
289
290
BUG FIXES:
291
292
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
293
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
294
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
295
296
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
297
298
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
299
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
300
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
301
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
302
303
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
304
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
305
(Andrew Bennetts)
306
307
308
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
309
======================
310
311
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
312
in bzrlib/remote.py.
313
314
315
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
316
======================
317
318
CHANGES:
319
320
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
321
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
322
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
323
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
324
(Martin Pool)
325
326
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
327
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
328
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
329
(Ian Clatworthy)
330
331
FEATURES:
332
333
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
334
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
335
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
336
(Lukáš Lalinský)
337
338
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
339
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
340
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
341
342
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
343
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
344
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
345
346
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
347
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
348
349
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
350
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
351
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
352
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
353
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
354
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
355
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
356
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
357
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
358
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
359
360
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
361
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
362
363
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
364
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
365
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
366
367
BUG FIXES:
368
369
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
370
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
371
372
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
373
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
374
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
375
376
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
377
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
378
379
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
380
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
381
382
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
383
(Aaron Bentley)
384
385
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
386
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
387
388
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
389
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
390
391
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
392
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
393
394
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
395
(Blake Winton, #129299)
396
397
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
398
399
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
400
Watkins, #106726)
401
402
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
403
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
404
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
405
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
406
407
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
408
409
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
410
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
411
#133548)
412
413
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
414
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
415
416
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
417
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
418
#116143)
419
420
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
421
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
422
423
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
424
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
425
426
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
427
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
428
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
429
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
430
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
431
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
432
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
433
434
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
435
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
436
437
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
438
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
439
440
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
441
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
442
443
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
444
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
445
446
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
447
connections.
448
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
449
450
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
451
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
452
453
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
454
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
455
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
456
457
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
458
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
459
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
460
461
IMPROVEMENTS:
462
463
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
464
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
465
466
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
467
(Aaron Bentley)
468
469
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
470
(Aaron Bentley)
471
472
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
473
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
474
475
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
476
477
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
478
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
479
480
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
481
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
482
483
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
484
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
485
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
486
space). (Robert Collins)
487
488
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
489
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
490
(Ian Clatworthy)
491
492
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
493
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
494
495
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
496
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
497
498
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
499
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
500
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
501
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
502
503
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
504
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
505
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
506
(Lukáš Lalinský)
507
508
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
509
(Ian Clatworthy)
510
511
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
512
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
513
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
514
515
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
516
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
517
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
518
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
519
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
520
521
API BREAKS:
522
523
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
524
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
525
526
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
527
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
528
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
529
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
530
affected. (Robert Collins)
531
532
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
533
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
534
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
535
(Robert Collins)
536
537
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
538
previous release. (Martin Pool)
539
540
TESTING:
541
542
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
543
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
544
545
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
546
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
547
548
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
549
previous release. (Martin Pool)
550
551
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
552
(Aaron Bentley)
553
554
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
555
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
556
557
INTERNALS:
558
559
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
560
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
561
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
562
its version information. (Robert Collins)
563
564
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
565
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
566
567
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
568
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
569
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
570
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
571
572
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
573
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
574
present. (Robert Collins)
575
576
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
577
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
578
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
579
API. (Robert Collins)
580
581
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
582
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
583
(Robert Collins)
584
585
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
586
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
587
588
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
589
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
590
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
591
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
592
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
593
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
594
595
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
596
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
597
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
598
599
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
600
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
601
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
602
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
603
protocol.
604
605
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
606
(Aaron Bentley)
607
608
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
609
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
610
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
611
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
612
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
613
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
614
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
615
616
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
617
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
618
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
619
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
620
621
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
622
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
623
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
624
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
625
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
626
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
627
628
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
629
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
630
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
631
632
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
633
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
634
635
636
bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
637
===================
638
639
IMPROVEMENTS:
640
641
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
642
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
643
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
644
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
645
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
646
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
647
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
648
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
649
650
651
API CHANGES:
652
653
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
654
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
655
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
656
657
658
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
659
======================
660
661
BUGFIXES:
662
663
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
664
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
665
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
666
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
667
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
668
669
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
670
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
671
672
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
673
anymore.
674
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
675
676
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
677
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
678
(Vincent Ladeuil)
679
680
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
681
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
682
#111664)
683
684
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
685
(Lukáš Lalinský)
686
687
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
688
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
689
690
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
691
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
692
693
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
694
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
695
696
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
697
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
698
699
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
700
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
701
702
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
703
(Aaron Bentley)
704
705
IMPROVEMENTS:
706
707
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
708
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
709
710
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
711
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
712
713
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
714
the repository (Robert Collins)
715
716
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
717
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
718
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
719
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
720
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
721
722
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
723
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
724
725
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
726
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
727
(John Arbash Meinel)
728
729
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
730
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
731
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
732
about 10%).
733
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
734
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
735
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
736
(John Arbash Meinel)
737
738
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
739
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
740
(Robert Collins)
741
742
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
743
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
744
745
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
746
(Ian Clatworthy)
747
748
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
749
750
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
751
752
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
753
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
754
755
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
756
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
757
Meinel)
758
759
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
760
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
761
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
762
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
763
764
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
765
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
766
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
767
768
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
769
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
770
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
771
772
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
773
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
774
775
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
776
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
777
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
778
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
779
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
780
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
781
(Ian Clatworthy)
782
783
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
784
(Alexander Belchenko)
785
786
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
787
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
788
789
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
790
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
791
792
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
793
794
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
795
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
796
797
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
798
799
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
800
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
801
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
802
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
803
804
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
805
806
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
807
(Robert Collins)
808
809
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
810
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
811
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
812
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
813
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
814
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
815
816
INTERNALS:
817
818
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
819
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
820
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
821
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
822
823
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
824
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
825
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
826
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
827
tests have been refactored too.
828
(Vincent Ladeuil)
829
830
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
831
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
832
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
833
list, it will.
834
(Vincent Ladeuil)
835
836
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
837
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
838
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
839
840
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
841
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
842
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
843
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
844
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
845
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
846
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
847
848
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
849
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
850
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
851
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
852
(John Arbash Meinel)
853
854
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
855
functionality for testing.
856
857
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
858
859
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
860
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
861
862
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
863
864
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
865
(Robert Collins)
866
867
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
868
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
869
870
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
871
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
872
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
873
874
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
875
(Aaron Bentley)
876
877
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
878
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
879
880
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
881
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
882
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
883
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
884
885
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
886
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
887
888
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
889
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
890
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
891
892
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
893
(Marius Kruger)
894
895
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
896
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
897
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
898
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
899
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
900
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
901
902
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
903
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
904
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
905
many files. (Robert Collins)
906
907
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
908
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
909
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
910
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
911
912
TESTING:
913
914
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
915
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
916
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
917
918
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
919
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
920
921
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
922
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
923
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

935
=======================
936
937
BUGFIXES:
938
939
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
940
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
941
942
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
943
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
944
(James Westby, #122656)
945
946
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
947
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
948
949
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
950
authentication header.
951
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
952
953
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
954
955
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
956
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
957
958
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
959
960
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
961
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
962
963
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
964
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
965
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
966
967
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
968
individually and as part of revision ranges.
969
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
970
971
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
972
(Martin Pool, #109169)
973
974
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
975
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
976
977
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
978
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
979
980
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
981
982
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
983
984
IMPROVEMENTS:
985
986
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
987
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
988
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
989
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
990
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
991
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
992
993
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
994
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
995
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
996
997
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
998
(Elliot Murphy)
999
1000
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
1001
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
1002
1003
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
1004
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
1005
1006
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
1007
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
1008
1009
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
1010
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
1011
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
1012
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
1013
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
1014
1015
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1016
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1017
1018
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1019
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1020
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1021
1022
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1023
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1024
1025
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1026
1027
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1028
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1029
1030
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1031
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1032
(Robert Collins)
1033
1034
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1035
(Martin Pool)
1036
1037
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1038
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1039
1040
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1041
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1042
1043
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1044
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1045
1046
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1047
1048
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1049
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1050
1051
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
1052
(Andrew Bennetts)
1053
1054
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1055
1056
* Testing cleanups -
1057
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1058
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
1059
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1060
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
1061
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1062
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
1063
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1064
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
1065
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1066
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
1067
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
1068
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
1069
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1070
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
1071
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1072
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
1073
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
1074
(Robert Collins)
1075
1076
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
1077
1078
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1079
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1080
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1081
1082
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1083
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1084
1085
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1086
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1087
1088
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1089
1090
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1091
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1092
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1093
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1094
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1095
same location. (Robert Collins)
1096
1097
INTERNALS:
1098
1099
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
1100
1101
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
1102
1103
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
1104
1105
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
1106
(Martin Pool)
1107
1108
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
1109
(Martin Pool)
1110
1111
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
1112
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
1113
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
1114
1115
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
1116
1117
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
1118
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
1119
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
1120
1121
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
1122
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1123
1124
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1125
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1126
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1127
1128
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1129
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1130
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1131
1132
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1133
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1134
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1135
1136
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1137
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1138
Martin Pool)
1139
1140
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
1141
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
1142
1143
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
1144
(Alexander Belchenko)
1145
1146
TESTING:
1147
1148
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
1149
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
1150
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
1151
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1152
1153
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
1154
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
1155
testing. (Robert Collins)
1156
1157
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
1158
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
1159
1160
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
1161
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
1162
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
1163
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
1164
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
1165
attribute during the test parameterisation in
1166
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
1167
1168
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
1169
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
1170
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
1171
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
1172
1173
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
1174
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
1175
1176
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
1177
avoid useless cloning.

=======================

1196
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1197
1198
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
1199
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
1200
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
1201
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
1202
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
1203
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
1204
and unlock() like so::
1205
1206
work_tree.lock_read()
1207
try:
1208
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
1209
finally:
1210
work_tree.unlock()
1211
1212
INTERNALS:
1213
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
1214
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
1215
object.
1216
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
1217
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
1218
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
1219
1220
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
1221
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
1222
too. (Robert Collins)
1223
1224
IMPROVEMENTS:
1225
1226
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
1227
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
1228
Aaron Bentley)
1229
1230
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
1231
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
1232
1233
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
1234
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
1235
1236
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
1237
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
1238
understanding what changes have occurred
1239
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
1240
1241
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
1242
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
1243
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1244
1245
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
1246
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
1247
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
1248
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1249
1250
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
1251
#56322)
1252
1253
BUGFIXES:
1254
1255
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
1256
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
1257
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
1258
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
1259
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
1260
1261
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
1262
based on split paths, not just string paths.
1263
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
1264
1265
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
1266
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
1267
1268
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
1269
into account.
1270
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
1271
1272
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
1273
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
1274
1275
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
1276
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1277
1278
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
1279
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
1280
1281
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
1282
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
1283
1284
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
1285
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
1286
1287
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
1288
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
1289
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

1292
====================
1293
1294
BUGFIXES:
1295
1296
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
1297
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
1298
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
1299
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
1300
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
1301
1302
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
1303
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
1304
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
1305
1306
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
1307
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
1308
1309
IMPROVEMENTS:
1310
1311
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
1312
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
1313
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
1314
1315
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
1316
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
1317
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
1318
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

=======================
1322

BUGFIXES:
1324
1325
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
1326
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
1327
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
1328
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
1329
1330
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
1331
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
1332
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
1333
1334
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
1335
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
1336
1337
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
1338
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
1339
1340
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
1341
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

1344
=======================
1345
1346
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1347
1348
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
1349
it could be recovered again.
1350
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
1351
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
1352
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
1353
but not delete it.
1354
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
1355
files.
1356
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
1357
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
1358
1359
IMPROVEMENTS:
1360
1361
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
1362
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
1363
1364
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
1365
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
1366
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
1367
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
1368
1369
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
1370
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
1371
1372
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
1373
tests with names that match that regular expression.
1374
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
1375
1376
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
1377
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
1378
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
1379
1380
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
1381
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
1382
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)

* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
1385
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
1386
Robert Collins)
1387
1388
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
1389
Pool)
1390
1391
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
1392
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
1393
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
1394
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
1395
1396
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
1397
(Robert Collins)
1398
1399
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
1400
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
1401
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
1402
(Robert Collins)
1403
1404
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
1405
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
1406
1407
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
1408
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
1409
1410
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
1411
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
1412
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
1413
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
1414
(Robert Collins)
1415
1416
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
1417
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
1418
1419
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
1420
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1421
1422
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
1423
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
1424
(Robert Collins, #107125).
1425
1426
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
1427
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
1428
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
1429
1430
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
1431
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
1432
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1433
1434
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
1435
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
1436
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
1437
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
1438
1439
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
1440
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
1441
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
1442
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
1443
1444
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
1445
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
1446
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
1447
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
1448
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
1449
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
1450
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
1451
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
1452
header(s).
1453
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1454
1455
INTERNALS:
1456
1457
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
1458
code paths. (Robert Collins)
1459
1460
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
1461
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
1462
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
1463
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
1464
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1465
1466
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
1467
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
1468
1469
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
1470
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
1471
1472
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
1473
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
1474
1475
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
1476
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
1477
1478
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
1479
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
1480
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1481
(Robert Collins).
1482
1483
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1484
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
1485
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
1486
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
1487
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
1488
(Robert Collins)
1489
1490
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
1491
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
1492
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
1493
1494
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
1495
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
1496
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1497
1498
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
1499
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
1500
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
1501
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1502
1503
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
1504
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
1505
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
1506
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
1507
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
1508
1509
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
1510
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
1511
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
1512
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1513
1514
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
1515
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1516
1517
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
1518
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
1519
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
1520
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
1521
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
1522
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
1523
1524
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
1525
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
1526
1527
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
1528
help. (Robert Collins)
1529
1530
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
1531
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1532
1533
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
1534
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
1535
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
1536
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
1537
(John Arbash Meinel)
1538
1539
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
1540
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
1541
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
1542
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
1543
useful. (Robert Collins)
1544
1545
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
1546
(Andrew Bennetts)
1547
1548
BUGFIXES:
1549
1550
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
1551
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
1552
1553
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
1554
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
1555
1556
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
1557
properly and is no longer beneficial.
1558
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
1559
1560
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
1561
(Aaron Bentley)
1562
1563
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
1564
the file, and does it faster.
1565
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
1566
1567
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
1568
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
1569
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
1570
1571
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
1572
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
1573
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
1574
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
1575
1576
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
1577
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
1578
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
1579
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
1580
1581
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
1582
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
1583
1584
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
1585
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
1586
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
1587
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
1588
Arbash Meinel)
1589
1590
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
1591
1592
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
1593
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
1594
1595
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
1596
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
1597
1598
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
1599
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
1600
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
1601
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
1602
security hole.
1603
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1604
1605
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
1606
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
1607
1608
TESTING:
1609
1610
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
1611
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
1612
in running it. (Robert Collins)
1613
1614
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
1615
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
1616
1617
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
1618
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
1619
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
1620
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
1621
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
1622
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
1623
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
1624
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1625
1626
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
1627
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
1628
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1629
1630
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
1631
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
1632
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
1633
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
1634
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
1635
access.
1636
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1637
1638
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
1639
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
1640
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1641
1642
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
1643
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

1661
CHANGES:
1662
1663
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
1664
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
1665
(Martin Pool)
1666
1667
IMPROVEMENTS:
1668
1669
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1670
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1671
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1672
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1673
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1674
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1675
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1676
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1677
path. (vila)
1678
1679
INTERNALS:
1680
1681
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1682
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1683
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1684
1685
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1686
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1687
(Martin Pool)
1688
1689
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1690
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1691
(John Arbash Meinel)
1692
1693
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1694
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1695
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1696
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1697
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1698
1699
BUGFIXES:
1700
1701
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1702
(vila, #92195)
1703
1704
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1705
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1706
1707
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1708
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1709
1710
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1711
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1712
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1713
1714
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1715
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1716
1717
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1718
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1719
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1720
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1721
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1722
1723
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1724
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1725
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1726
1727
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

1731
=======================
1732
1733
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1734
1735
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1736
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1737
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1738
1739
IMPROVEMENTS:
1740
1741
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1742
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1743
1744
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1745
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1746
1747
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1748
1749
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1750
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1751
1752
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1753
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1754
1755
INTERNALS:
1756
1757
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
1758
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
1759
1760
BUGFIXES:
1761
1762
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1763
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1764
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1765
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1766
1767
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1768
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1769
1770
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1771
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1772
1773
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1774
(Marien Zwart)
1775
1776
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1781
=======================
1782
1783
SURPRISES:
1784
1785
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1786
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1787
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1788
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1789
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1790
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1791
1792
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1793
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1794
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1795
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1796
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1797
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1798
development.
1799
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1800
1801
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1802
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1803
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1804
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1805
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1806
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1807
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1808
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1809
1810
IMPROVEMENTS:
1811
1812
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1813
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1814
1815
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1816
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1817
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1818
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1819
does exist.
1820
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1821
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1822
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1823
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1824
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1825
1826
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1827
(Aaron Bentley)

* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1830
(Aaron Bentley)
1831
1832
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1833
(Robert Collins)
1834
1835
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
1836
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
1837
(Aaron Bentley)
1838
1839
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1840
(Aaron Bentley)
1841
1842
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1843
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1844
1845
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1846
directory. (Martin Pool)
1847
1848
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1849
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1850
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1851
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1852
1853
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1854
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1855
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1856
in docs/configuration.txt.
1857
1858
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1859
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1860
bind location.
1861
1862
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1863
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1864
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1865
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1866
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1867
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1868
1869
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1870
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1871
1872
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1873
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1874
1875
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1876
(Aaron Bentley)
1877
1878
INTERNALS:
1879
1880
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1881
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1882
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1883
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1884
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1885
(John Arbash Meinel)
1886
1887
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1888
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1889
(Aaron Bentley)
1890
1891
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1892
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1893
(John Arbash Meinel)
1894
1895
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1896
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1897
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1898
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1899
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1900
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1901
1902
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1903
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1904
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1905
1906
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1907
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1908
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1909
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1910
repository.
1911
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1912
1913
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1914
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1915
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1916
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1917
1918
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1919
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1920
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1921
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1922
1923
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1924
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1925
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1926
1927
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1928
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1929
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1930
1931
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1932
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1933
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1934
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1935
1936
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1937
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1938
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1939
1940
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1941
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1942
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1943
1944
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1945
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1946
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1947
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1948
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1949
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1950
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1951
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1952
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1955
1956
BUGFIXES:
1957
1958
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1959
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1960
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1961
1962
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1963
(Aaron Bentley)
1964
1965
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1966
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1967
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1968
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1969
1970
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1971
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1972
#83954).
1973
1974
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
1975
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
1976
1977
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
1978
1979
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
1980
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
1981
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
1982
1983
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
1984
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
1985
1986
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
1987
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
1988
1989
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
1990
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
1991
1992
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
1993
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
1994
1995
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)

1998
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)

IMPROVEMENTS:
2010
2011
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
2012
2013
BUG FIXES:
2014
2015
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
2016
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
2017
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2018
2019
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2020
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2021
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
2025
=======================
2026
2027
IMPROVEMENTS:
2028
2029
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
2030
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
2031
server, then you can write over the http connection.
2032
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2033
2034
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
2035
(Marius Kruger)
2036
2037
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
2038
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
2039
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2040
2041
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
2042
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
2043
2044
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
2045
(Aaron Bentley)
2046
2047
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
2048
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
2049
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
2050
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
2051
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
2052
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
2053
2054
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
2055
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
2056
should enable you to do::
2057
2058
[/home/user/project]
2059
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
2060
push_location:policy = appendpath
2061
2062
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
2063
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
2064
(James Henstridge)
2065
2066
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
2067
for each file. For example::
2068
2069
$ bzr status --short
2070
A foo
2071
A bar
2072
D baz
2073
? wooley
2074
2075
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
2076
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
2077
2078
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
2079
2080
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
2081
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
2082
2083
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
2084
2085
INTERNALS:
2086
2087
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
2088
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
2089
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
2090
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
2091
2092
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
2093
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
2094
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
2095
2096
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2097
2098
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
2099
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
2100
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
2101
(Alexander Belchenko)
2102
2103
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
2104
Pool)
2105
2106
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
2107
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
2108
2109
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
2110
2111
BUG FIXES:
2112
2113
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
2114
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
2115
2116
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
2117
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
2118
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
2119
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
2120
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
2121
2122
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
2123
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
2124
2125
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
2126
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
2127
2128
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
2129
matcher.
2130
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
2131
2132
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
2133
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
2134
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
2135
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
2136
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
2137
2138
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
2139
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
2140
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
2141
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
2142
2143
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
2144
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
2145
2146
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
2147
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
2148
2149
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
2150
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

2152
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

IMPROVEMENTS:
2165
2166
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2167
tree from a branch.
2168
(Daniel Silverstone)
2169
2170
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2171
operations are substantially faster.
2172
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2173
2174
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2175
tree from some other url. For example:
2176
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2177
(Daniel Silverstone)
2178
2179
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2180
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2181
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2182
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2183
2184
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2185
(Andrew Bennetts)
2186
2187
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2188
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2189
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2190
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2191
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2192
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2193
2194
INTERNALS:
2195
2196
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2197
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2198
(Martin Pool)
2199
2200
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2201
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2202
(John Arbash Meinel)
2203
2204
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
2205
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
2206
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
2207
(John Arbash Meinel)
2208
2209
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
2210
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
2211
2212
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
2213
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2214
2215
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
2216
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
2217
Bennetts)
2218
2219
BUG FIXES:
2220
2221
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
2222
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
2223
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
2224
2225
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
2226
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
2227
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
2228
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
2229
2230
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
2231
2232
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
2233
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
2234
2235
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
2236
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
2237
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
2238
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
2239
2240
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
2241
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
2242
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
2243
2244
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
2245
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
2246
them as full references rather than integers.
2247
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
2248
2249
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
2250
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
2251
2252
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
2253
2254
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
2255
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
2256
2257
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
2258
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
2259
2260
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
2261
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
2262
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
2263
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
2264
2265
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
2266
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
2267
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
2268
2269
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
2270
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
2271
2272
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
2273
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
2274
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
2275
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
2276
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
2277
2278
TESTING:
2279
2280
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
2281
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

2284
====================
2285
2286
INTERNALS:
2287
2288
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2289
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2290
(John Arbash Meinel)
2291
2292
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
2293
=======================
2294
2295
IMPROVEMENTS:
2296
2297
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
2298
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
2299
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
2300
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
2301
2302
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
2303
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
2304
2305
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
2306
2307
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
2308
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
2309
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
2310
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2311
2312
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
2313
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
2314
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
2315
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
2316
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
2317
2318
API INCOMPATABILITY:
2319
2320
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
2321
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
2322
2323
INTERNALS:
2324
2325
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
2326
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
2327
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2328
2329
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
2330
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
2331
(John Arbash Meinel)
2332
2333
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
2334
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
2335
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
2336
2337
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
2338
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
2339
(Aaron Bentley)
2340
2341
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
2342
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
2343
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2344
2345
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
2346
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
2347
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
2348
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
2349
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
2350
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2351
2352
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
2353
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
2354
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
2355
(Robert Collins)
2356
2357
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
2358
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
2359
2360
BUG FIXES:
2361
2362
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
2363
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
2364
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
2365
#63360, #66349)
2366
2367
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
2368
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
2369
2370
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
2371
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
2372
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
2373
2374
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
2375
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
2376
2377
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
2378
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
2379
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
2380
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
2381
2382
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
2383
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
2384
2385
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
2386
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
2387
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
2388
2389
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
2390
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
2391
2392
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2393
2394
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
2395
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
2396
#32054)
2397
2398
TESTING:
2399
2400
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
2401
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
2402
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
2403
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
2404
2405
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
2406
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
2407
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2408
2409
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02
2410
====================
2411
2412
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
2413
2414
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
2415
=======================
2416
2417
BUG FIXES:
2418
2419
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
2420
2421
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
2422
Arbash Meinel).
2423
2424
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
2425
=======================
2426
2427
IMPROVEMENTS:
2428
2429
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
2430
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
2431
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
2432
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
2433
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
2434
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
2435
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
2436
2437
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
2438
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
2439
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
2440
2441
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
2442
2443
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
2444
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
2445
2446
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
2447
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
2448
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
2449
(Robert Collins)
2450
2451
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
2452
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
2453
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
2454
(John Arbash Meinel)
2455
2456
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
2457
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
2458
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
2459
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
2460
Pool)
2461
2462
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
2463
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
2464
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
2465
(John Arbash Meinel)
2466
2467
BUG FIXES:
2468
2469
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
2470
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
2471
2472
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
2473
2474
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
2475
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
2476
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
2477
2478
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
2479
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
2480
2481
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
2482
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2483
2484
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
2485
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
2486
2487
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
2488
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
2489
2490
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
2491
2492
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
2493
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
2494
2495
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
2496
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
2497
2498
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
2499
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
2500
2501
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
2502
(John Arbash Meinel)
2503
2504
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
2505
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
2506
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
2507
2508
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
2509
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2510
2511
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
2512
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
2513
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
2514
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
2515
2516
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
2517
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
2518
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
2519
2520
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
2521
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
2522
2523
PORTABILITY:
2524
2525
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
2526
2527
INTERNALS:
2528
2529
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
2530
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
2531
(John Arbash Meinel)
2532
2533
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
2534
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
2535
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
2536
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2537
2538
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
2539
(Andrew Bennetts)
2540
2541
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
2542
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
2543
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
2544
2545
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
2546
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
2547
2548
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
2549
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
2550
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
2551
2552
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
2553
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
2554
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
2555
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
2556
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
2557
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
2558
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
2559
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
2560
caller to repeat their request.
2561
(John Arbash Meinel)
2562
2563
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
2564
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
2565
2566
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
2567
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
2568
2569
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
2570
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
2571
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
2572
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
2573
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
2574
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
2575
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
2576
2577
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
2578
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
2579
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
2580
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
2581
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
2582
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
2583
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
2584
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
2585
(Robert Collins)
2586
2587
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
2588
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
2589
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
2590
2591
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
2592
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
2593
2594
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
2595
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
2596
2597
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
2598
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2599
2600
TESTING:
2601
2602
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
2603
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
2604
2605
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
2606
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
2607
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2608
2609
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
2610
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
2611
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2612
2613
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
2614
====================
2615
2616
IMPROVEMENTS:
2617
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
2618
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2619
2620
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
2621
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
2622
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
2623
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
2624
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
2625
2626
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
2627
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
2628
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2629
2630
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
2631
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
2632
2633
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
2634
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
2635
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2636
2637
BUG FIXES:
2638
2639
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
2640
2641
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
2642
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
2643
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
2644
2645
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
2646
2647
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
2648
2649
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
2650
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
2651
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
2652
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
2653
2654
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
2655
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
2656
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
2657
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
2658
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
2659
2660
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
2661
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
2662
2663
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
2664
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
2665
2666
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
2667
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
2668
2669
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
2670
in handling of revision properties.
2671
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
2672
2673
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
2674
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
2675
2676
INTERNALS:
2677
2678
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
2679
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
2680
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
2681
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2682
(John Arbash Meinel)
2683
2684
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2685
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2686
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2687
2688
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2689
=====================
2690
2691
SURPRISES:
2692
2693
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2694
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2695
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2696
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2697
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2698
a more conservative list than the old default.
2699
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2700
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2701
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2702
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2703
2704
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2705
to more locations than just branch locations.
2706
(Aaron Bentley)
2707
2708
IMPROVEMENTS:
2709
2710
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2711
revno:N:branch. For example,
2712
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2713
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2714
2715
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2716
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2717
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2718
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2719
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2720
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2721
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2722
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2723
#42517, #42514)
2724
2725
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2726
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2727
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2728
(Malone #3507)
2729
2730
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2731
(Alexander Belchenko)
2732
2733
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2734
2735
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2736
(Robert Collins).
2737
2738
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2739
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2740
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2741
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2742
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2743
(John Arbash Meinel)
2744
2745
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2746
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2747
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2748
grained analysis of performance.
2749
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2750
2751
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2752
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2753
2754
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2755
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2756
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2757
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2758
file. (Robert Collins).
2759
2760
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2761
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2762
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2763
2764
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2765
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2766
Matthieu Moy)
2767
2768
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2769
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2770
2771
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2772
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2773
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2774
the same way you would apply another branch.
2775
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2776
2777
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2778
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2779
2780
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2781
(Michael Ellerman)
2782
2783
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2784
(Aaron Bentley)
2785
2786
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2787
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2788
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2789
2790
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2791
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2792
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2793
2794
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2795
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2796
2797
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2798
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2799
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2800
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2801
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2802
2803
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2804
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2805
2806
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2807
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2808
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2809
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2810
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2811
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2812
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2813
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2814
2815
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2816
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2817
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2818
2819
BUG FIXES:
2820
2821
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2822
tests not to run.
2823
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2824
2825
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2826
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2827
2828
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2829
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2830
2831
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2832
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2833
2834
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2835
2836
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
2837
(John Arbash Meinel)
2838
2839
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
2840
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
2841
2842
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
2843
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
2844
and y.
2845
2846
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
2847
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
2848
2849
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
2850
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2851
2852
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
2853
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
2854
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
2855
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
2856
2857
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
2858
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2859
2860
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2861
2862
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
2863
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
2864
2865
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2866
2867
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2868
2869
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2870
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2871
2872
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2873
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2874
2875
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2876
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2877
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2878
2879
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2880
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2881
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2882
2883
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2884
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2885
2886
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2887
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2888
2889
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2890
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2891
2892
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2893
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2894
2895
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2896
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2897
2898
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2899
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2900
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2901
2902
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2903
2904
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2905
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2906
2907
INTERNALS:
2908
2909
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2910
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2911
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2912
2913
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2914
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2915
2916
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2917
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2918
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2919
2920
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2921
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2922
2923
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2924
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2925
(Martin Pool)
2926
2927
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2928
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2929
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2930
2931
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2932
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2933
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2934
2935
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2936
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2937
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2938
2939
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2940
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2941
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2942
2943
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2944
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2945
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2946
2947
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2948
instead. (Robert Collins)
2949
2950
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

2965
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
2966
2967
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
2968
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2969
2970
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
2971
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

CHANGES:
2984
2985
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
2986

2988
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
2989
2990
NEW FEATURES:
2991
2992
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into

3007
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
3008
===================
3009
3010
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3011
3012
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
3013
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
3014
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
3015
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3016
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3017
will keep the same format.
3018
3019
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3020
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3021
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3022
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3023
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3024
3025
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3026
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3027
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3028
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3029
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3030
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3031
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3032
3033
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3034
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3035
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3036
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3037
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3038
3039
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3040
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3041
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3042
arrangement.
3043
3044
3045
IMPROVEMENTS:
3046
3047
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3048
convention. Paths now take the form::
3049
3050
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3051
or
3052
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3053
3054
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3055
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3056
3057
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3058
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3059
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3060
3061
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3062
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3063
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3064
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3065
3066
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3067
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3068
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3069
3070
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3071
3072
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3073
3074
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3075
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3076
commits::
3077
3078
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3079
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3080
| xargs bzr re-sign
3081
3082
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3083
3084
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3085
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3086
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3087
(Robert Collins)
3088
3089
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3090
3091
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3092
3093
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3094
'.moved'.
3095
3096
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3097
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3098
3099
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3100
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3101
Daniel Silverstone)
3102
3103
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3104
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3105
Martin Pool)
3106
3107
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3108
3109
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3110
3111
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3112
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3113
3114
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3115
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3116
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3117
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3118
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3119
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3120
3121
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3122
3123
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3124
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3125
(Robert Collins)
3126
3127
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3128
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3129
3130
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3131
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3132
3133
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3134
3135
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3136
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3137
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3138
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3139
specification by Martin Pool.
3140
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3141
3142
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3143
Belchenko)
3144
3145
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3146
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3147
3148
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
3149
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
3150
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
3151
3152
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
3153
3154
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
3155
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3156
(Robert Collins)
3157
3158
CHANGES:
3159
3160
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3161
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3162
3163
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3164
3165
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
3166
3167
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
3168
(Olaf Conradi)
3169
3170
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
3171
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
3172
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
3173
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
3174
3175
INTERNALS:
3176
3177
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3178
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3179
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3180
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3181
3182
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3183
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
3184
tried. (Martin Pool)
3185
3186
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
3187
(Martin Pool)
3188
3189
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
3190
3191
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
3192
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3193
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3194
3195
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3196
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3197
3198
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3199
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3200
paths. (Robert Collins)
3201
3202
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
3203
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
3204
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
3205
3206
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
3207
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
3208
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
3209
3210
* Progress bars are now nested - see
3211
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
3212
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3213
3214
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
3215
(Olaf Conradi)
3216
3217
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
3218
(Olaf Conradi)
3219
3220
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
3221
3222
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
3223
3224
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
3225
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
3226
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
3227
(Robert Collins)
3228
3229
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
3230
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
3231
3232
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
3233
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
3234
check. (Robert Collins)
3235
3236
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
3237
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
3238
3239
TESTING:
3240
3241
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
3242
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
3243
3244
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
3245
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
3246
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
3247
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
3248
3249
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
3250
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
3251
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
3252
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
3253
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
3254
3255
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
3256
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
3257
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
3258
3259
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
3260
3261
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
3262
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
3263
3264
bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
3265
==================
3266
3267
CHANGES:
3268
3269
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
3270
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
3271
3272
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
3273
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
3274
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
3275
(Johan Rydberg)
3276
3277
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
3278
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
3279
3280
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
3281
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
3282
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
3283
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
3284
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3285
3286
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
3287
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
3288
used. (Robert Collins)
3289
3290
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
3291
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
3292
(James Henstridge)
3293
3294
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
3295
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
3296
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
3297
3298
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
3299
ignore list.
3300
3301
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
3302
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
3303
3304
IMPROVEMENTS:
3305
3306
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
3307
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
3308
3309
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
3310
3311
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
3312
3313
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
3314
tree. (Robert Collins)
3315
3316
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
3317
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
3318
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
3319
(Robert Collins)
3320
3321
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
3322
that they be kept.
3323
3324
* Tweaks to short log printing
3325
3326
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
3327
(Aaron Bentley)
3328
3329
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
3330
occurs. (Martin Pool)
3331
3332
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
3333
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
3334
3335
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
3336
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
3337
3338
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
3339
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
3340
settings. (Magnus Therning)
3341
3342
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
3343
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3344
3345
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
3346
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
3347
requests.
3348
3349
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
3350
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
3351
3352
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
3353
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
3354
3355
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
3356
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
3357
3358
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
3359
(Denys Duchier)
3360
3361
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
3362
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
3363
3364
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
3365
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
3366
3367
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
3368
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
3369
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
3370
3371
BUG FIXES:
3372
3373
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
3374
3375
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3376
3377
* Error when run with -OO
3378
3379
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
3380
(Martin Pool)
3381
3382
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
3383
3384
* Change status to 3 for all errors
3385
3386
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
3387
ignored by diff and status
3388
3389
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
3390
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
3391
3392
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
3393
3394
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
3395
3396
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
3397
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
3398
3399
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
3400
email address. (Marien Zwart)
3401
3402
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
3403
(Harald Meland)
3404
3405
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
3406
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3407
3408
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
3409
3410
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
3411
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
3412
3413
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
3414
(Martin Pool)
3415
3416
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
3417
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
3418
3419
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
3420
3421
TESTING:
3422
3423
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
3424
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
3425
3426
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3427
3428
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3429
3430
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
3431
3432
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
3433
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
3434
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3435
3436
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3437
3438
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
3439
(John Arbash Meinel)
3440
3441
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
3442
3443
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
3444
If adding a new test script please add that to
3445
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
3446
3447
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
3448
imported. (Martin Pool)
3449
3450
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
3451
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
3452
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
3453
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
3454
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
3455
(Robert Collins)
3456
3457
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
3458
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
3459
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
3460
3461
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
3462
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
3463
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3464
3465
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
3466
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
3467
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
3468
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
3469
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
3470
(Robert Collins).
3471
3472
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
3473
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
3474
(Robert Collins).
3475
3476
INTERNALS:
3477
3478
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
3479
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
3480
3481
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
3482
function. (Robert Collins)
3483
3484
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
3485
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
3486
if needed). (Robert Collins)
3487
3488
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
3489
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
3490
(Robert Collins)
3491
3492
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
3493
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
3494
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
3495
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
3496
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
3497
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
3498
version. (Robert Collins)
3499
3500
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
3501
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
3502
3503
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
3504
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
3505
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
3506
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
3507
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
3508
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
3509
3510
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
3511
(Robert Collins)
3512
3513
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
3514
3515
add()
3516
commit()
3517
move()
3518
rename_one()
3519
unknowns()
3520
3521
(Robert Collins)
3522
3523
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
3524
3525
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
3526
3527
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
3528
Pool)
3529
3530
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
3531
query method. (Robert Collins)
3532
3533
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
3534
(Denys Duchier)
3535
3536
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
3537
(Michael Ellerman)
3538
3539
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
3540
(Michael Ellerman)
3541
3542
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
3543
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
3544
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
3545
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
3546
3547
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
3548
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
3549
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
3550
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
3551
3552
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
3553
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
3554
3555
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
3556
==================
3557
3558
IMPROVEMENTS:
3559
3560
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
3561
(John A Meinel)
3562
3563
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
3564
conflicts.
3565
(Aaron Bentley)
3566
3567
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
3568
a separator, not ':'.
3569
(Aaron Bentley)
3570
3571
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
3572
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
3573
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
3574
3575
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
3576
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
3577
(Robert Collins)
3578
3579
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
3580
has been added that suppresses all output.
3581
3582
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
3583
Adams.
3584
3585
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
3586
Goffredo Baroncelli.
3587
3588
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
3589
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
3590
3591
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
3592
a revision. (Robert Collins)
3593
3594
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
3595
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
3596
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
3597
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
3598
3599
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
3600
3601
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
3602
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
3603
3604
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
3605
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
3606
3607
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
3608
output directory, if one was supplied.
3609
3610
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
3611
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
3612
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
3613
parameters. (Robert Collins)
3614
3615
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
3616
3617
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
3618
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
3619
3620
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
3621
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
3622
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
3623
3624
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
3625
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
3626
3627
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
3628
(Aaron Bentley)
3629
3630
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
3631
3632
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
3633
3634
TESTING:
3635
3636
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
3637
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
3638
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
3639
3640
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
3641
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
3642
related questions. (Robert Collins)
3643
3644
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
3645
is given. (Martin Pool)
3646
3647
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
3648
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
3649
file. (Robert Collins)
3650
3651
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
3652
(Martin Pool)
3653
3654
INTERNALS:
3655
3656
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
3657
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
3658
representation. (Martin Pool).
3659
3660
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
3661
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
3662
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
3663
3664
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3665
(Robert Collins)
3666
3667
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
3668
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
3669
Magnus Therning.
3670
3671
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3672
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
3673
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
3674
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
3675
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3676
3677
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
3678
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
3679
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
3680
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
3681
python path. (Robert Collins)
3682
3683
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
3684
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
3685
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
3686
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
3687
3688
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
3689
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
3690
3691
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
3692
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
3693
(Robert Collins)
3694
3695
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
3696
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
3697
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
3698
3699
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
3700
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
3701
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
3702
3703
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3704
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3705
3706
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
3707
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
3708
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
3709
(Robert Collins)
3710
3711
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
3712
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
3713
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
3714
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
3715
(Robert Collins)
3716
3717
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
3718
(Robert Collins)
3719
3720
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
3721
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
3722
(Robert Collins)
3723
3724
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
3725
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
3726
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
3727
3728
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
3729
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
3730
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
3731
3732
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
3733
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
3734
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
3735
3736
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3737
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3738
3739
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
3740
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
3741
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
3742
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
3743
caller. (Robert Collins)
3744
3745
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
3746
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
3747
(Robert Collins).
3748
3749
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
3750
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
3751
(Aaron Bentley)
3752
3753
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
3754
3755
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
3756
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
3757
3758
BUG FIXES:
3759
3760
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
3761
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
3762
3763
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
3764
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

3767
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
3768
====================
3769
3770
BUG FIXES:
3771
3772
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
3773
allow directories to be listed.
3774
3775
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
3776
upgrading branch format.
3777
3778
PERFORMANCE:
3779
3780
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
3781
3782
3783
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
3784
==================
3785
3786
NOTES:
3787
3788
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
3789
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
3790
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
3791
high-latency connections.
3792
3793
BUG FIXES:
3794
3795
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
3796
Rob Weir.
3797
3798
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
3799
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
3800
3801
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
3802
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
3803
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
3804
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3805
3806
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
3807
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
3808
3809
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
3810
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
3811
3812
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
3813
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
3814
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3815
3816
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
3817
for files with only a change to their executable status.
3818
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
3819
Robert Collins
3820
3821
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
3822
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
3823
3824
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
3825
different partial views of history.
3826
3827
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
3828
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
3829
3830
IMPROVEMENTS:
3831
3832
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
3833
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
3834
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3835
3836
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
3837
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
3838
'bzr upgrade'.
3839
3840
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
3841
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
3842
3843
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
3844
Niemeyer.
3845
3846
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
3847
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
3848
3849
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
3850
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
3851
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
3852
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3853
3854
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
3855
3856
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
3857
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
3858
Gustavo Niemeyer.
3859
3860
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
3861
Contributed by Robert Collins.
3862
3863
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
3864
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
3865
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
3866
3867
3868
INTERNALS:
3869
3870
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
3871
for your viewing pleasure.
3872
3873
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
3874
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
3875
3876
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
3877
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
3878
handling of such circumstances.
3879
3880
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
3881
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
3882
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
3883
3884
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
3885
3886
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
3887
we call them revisions not patches.
3888
3889
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
3890
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
3891
3892
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
3893
giving the revision *of that file*.
3894
3895
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
3896
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
3897
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
3898
3899
TESTING:
3900
3901
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
3902
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
3903
3904
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
3905
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
3906
3907
3908
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
3909
====================
3910
3911
BUG FIXES:
3912
3913
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
3914
3915
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
3916
(Robert Collins).
3917
3918
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
3919
3920
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
3921
3922
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
3923
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3924
3925
IMPROVEMENTS:
3926
3927
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
3928
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
3929
3930
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
3931
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
3932
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
3933
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
3934
Robey Pointer
3935
3936
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
3937
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3938
3939
INTERNALS:
3940
3941
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
3942
3943
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
3944
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
3945
3946
3947
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
3948
====================
3949
3950
IMPROVEMENTS:
3951
3952
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
3953
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
3954
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
3955
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
3956
Michael Ellerman.
3957
3958
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
3959
(Nir Soffer)
3960
3961
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
3962
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
3963
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
3964
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
3965
for the operating system is still tried.
3966
3967
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
3968
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
3969
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
3970
3971
3972
INTERNALS:
3973
3974
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
3975
3976
BUG FIXES:
3977
3978
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
3979
3980
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
3981
branch.
3982
3983
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
3984
read.
3985
3986
3987
PORTABILITY:
3988
3989
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
3990
3991
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
3992
3993
3994
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
3995
====================
3996
3997
NEW FEATURES:
3998
3999
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
4000
help with intelligent shell completion.
4001
4002
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
4003
4004
4005
ENHANCEMENTS:
4006
4007
* Much better merge support.
4008
4009
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
4010
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
4011
like emacs smerge.
4012
4013
4014
BUG FIXES:
4015
4016
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
4017
mention revisions that are not present.
4018
4019
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
4020
4021
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
4022
4023
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
4024
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
4025
4026
4027
CHANGES:
4028
4029
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
4030
4031
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
4032
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
4033
--help themselves.
4034
4035
4036
LIBRARY:
4037
4038
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
4039
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
4040
libraries.
4041
4042
4043
4044
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
4045
====================
4046
4047
NEW FEATURES:
4048
4049
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
4050
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
4051
4052
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
4053
4054
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
4055
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
4056
4057
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
4058
FOO.
4059
4060
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
4061
4062
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
4063
the Unix command.
4064
4065
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
4066
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
4067
4068
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
4069
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
4070
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
4071
4072
4073
ENHANCEMENTS:
4074
4075
* Faster working tree operations.
4076
4077
4078
CHANGES:
4079
4080
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
4081
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
4082
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
4083
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
4084
4085
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
4086
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
4087
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
4088
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
4089
standard plugins directory.
4090
4091
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
4092
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
4093
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
4094
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
4095
4096
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
4097
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
4098
4099
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
4100
disk.
4101
4102
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
4103
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
4104
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
4105
4106
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
4107
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
4108
4109
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
4110
line options must come before the command name because they
4111
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
4112
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
4113
it.
4114
4115
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
4116
4117
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
4118
is available with ``--short``.
4119
4120
4121
BUG FIXES:
4122
4123
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
4124
4125
4126
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
4127
=====================
4128
4129
CHANGES:
4130
4131
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
4132
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4133
4134
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
4135
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
4136
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
4137
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
4138
4139
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
4140
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
4141
with the ``--forward`` option.
4142
4143
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
4144
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
4145
field.
4146
4147
4148
ENHANCEMENTS:
4149
4150
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
4151
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
4152
4153
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
4154
4155
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
4156
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
4157
4158
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
4159
4160
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
4161
either read or write mode.
4162
4163

4167
4168
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
4169
4170
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
4171
suggested by LarstiQ.
4172
4173
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
4174
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
4175
4176
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
4177
a filename.
4178
4179
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
4180
in a directory on $BZRPATH.

4183
haven't changed since the previous time.
4184
4185
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
4186

4199
their contents.

4205
BUG FIXES:
4206
4207
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
4208
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
4209
4210
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
4211
metacharacters.
4212
4213
4214
TESTING:
4215
4216
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
4217
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
4218
the tests.
4219
4220
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
4221
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
4222
4223
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
4224
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
4225
4226
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
4227
under a different version.
4228
4229
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
4230
4231

4237
Scott James Remnant.
4238
4239
* Better help messages for many commands.
4240
4241
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
4242
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
4243
4244
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
4245
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
4246
4247
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
4248
4249

4250
4251
* New AtomicFile class.
4252
4253
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
4254
4255

4263
=====================
4264
4265
ENHANCEMENTS:
4266
4267
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
4268
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
4269
4270
* More default ignore patterns.
4271
4272
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
4273
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
4274
4275
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
4276
4277
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
4278
by Jason Diamon.
4279
4280
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
4281
4282
4283
CHANGES:
4284
4285
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
4286
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
4287
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
4288
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
4289
there are DNS problems.
4290
4291
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
4292
4293
4294
BUG FIXES:
4295
4296
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
4297
4298

4301
trailing newlines properly.
4302
4303
4304
INTERNAL:
4305
4306
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
4307
Matt Brubeck.
4308
4309
* More tests in test.sh.
4310
4311
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
4312
directory and delete it when done.
4313
4314
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
4315
4316
4317
PORTABILITY:
4318
4319
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
4320
Bennetts.
4321
4322
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
4323
from QuantumG.

4345
4346
CHANGES:
4347
4348
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
4349
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
4350
will do for now.)
4351
4352
PORTABILITY:
4353
4354
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
4355
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
4356
Nielsen.

4387
* More help topics.
4388
4389
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
4390
branch.
4391
4392
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
4393
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
4394
4395
* Performance improvements.
4396
4397
* New global --profile option.
4398
4399
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
4400
the root directory only.

4424
installation easier.
4425
4426

4427
supported).
4428
